This website has portraits of all the Presidents and most of the first ladies. If someone (or some people) could download all of these portraits in high-resolution onto this (and other) page(s), that would be great. Thank you very much. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.31.215.83 (talk) 20:31, 28 June 2011 (UTC)

The portrait of John Adams (pres. 1797-1801) posted on this page is not a presidential portrait - it was done by John Trumbull while Adams was Washington's vice president. The correct portrait is attached here[[File:Gilbert Stuart - Adams - presidency ]] This portrait was done by Gilbert Stuart in 1798, shortly after Adams became president.

Sorry, but I don't know how to correct this on the page - would someone mind fixing it? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mmeltze1 (talk • contribs) 03:36, 14 July 2011 (UTC)

There are 41 portraits here, however, there should be 43. Gerald Ford is one of them, I can't remember the other at the moment. Any idea why they aren't here? Isn't this Ford's portrait? 134340Goat (talk) 01:06, 25 December 2012 (UTC)

Grover Cleveland, the 22nd and 24th President, was elected to 2 non-consecutive terms and appears only once here. The other missing portrait is that of George W. Bush. --180.180.44.28 (talk) 11:00, 10 January 2013 (UTC)

As of 2015, the presidents that are missing are Gerald Ford, Ronald Reagan, George H.W. Bush, Bill Clinton, and George W. Bush. Plus, Eisenhower's Poritrait is different than the one on the official White House Website.Yoshiman6464 (talk) 21:54, 31 December 2015 (UTC)

The thumbnail included in the section on Theodore Roosevelt is actually a portrait of his father, also named Thoedore. The portrait shown with the other presidential portraits, is correct. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.231.245.132 (talk) 19:11, 16 August 2013 (UTC)

I've added a footnote explaining the exclusion of the Reagan (and Ford) portraits. Both official portraits were painted by an artist who has claimed copyright on the images, and as such they are not in the public domain. I'm going to look into re-adding them on fair use. Cheers!

The line explaining the lack of recent president's portraits calls them "official". If they are not publicly created or owned they are not "official portraits" but "portraits of a (former) official". We shouldn't reify the whims of the wealthy and powerful by conferring quasi-state sanction on their favorite pictures of themselves. Can I remove "official"? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:248:8000:2F28:C0C5:22A5:E2C4:72BB (talk) 16:15, 13 February 2018 (UTC)

I fail to see how a portrait not being "publicly created" removes said portrait's officiality. -- Millionsandbillions (talk) 19:58, 20 February 2018 (UTC)

On this page it says that {{tq|The official portrait for ... Barack Obama [was] painted by [an artist] who [was] not employed by the federal government at the time. [This image is] not in the public domain, and as such, [is] not included in this gallery. But File:Portrait of President Barack Obama by Kehinde Wiley.jpg states that the portrait is in fact in the public domain. If this is wrong the portrait should be deleted from Commons but if it is correct it should be included in this gallery. Note that the image is currently being used in the artilce about Kehinde Wiley. -- Millionsandbillions (talk) 19:53, 20 February 2018 (UTC)
